Currently im rebuilding my engine and in the process of putting the timing chains...

The problem is that all the timing marks of the chains are spot on but when i put on the timing cover and the cranshft polie the timing on the polie is way off.

I-m going crazy but i know that someone on the forum hade something identical, but i cant seam to find any information about this.

help me out plese










thanks

 

I wouldnt base your timing off the cover mark.

I would proceed as you are right now and turn the engine over very carefully and see where youre at.

your pictures look correct

 

the engine turns no problem
but this is the 3 time i installed the timing chains and the cams are going -60 degrees that why i think it have someting to to with the cranshaft mark
should i retard the cams sprockets ? so the timing mark on the crankshaft goes on the mark of the cover?

 

Can you clarify what you mean by -60degrees?

When I set timing:
set bank one cams to TDC by pointing the cam lobs towards each other (as depicted in the FSM)
Set crank shaft to cylinder TDC
Install the cam shaft gears & chains
String the main timing chain

I suspect you made a mistake along the line of setting TDC of the cams or the crank

 

well i think the TDC is fine couse i used a tool for the efect , but My doubt is on the outside crank polie mark that dosent match but the timing marks inside are all ok
should i care about the crankshft polie not matching ?

 

Are your cam shaft lobes at top-dead-center when piston #1 is at top dead center?

And all your timing chain marks are on correctly?

and you’ve manually turned over the engine?

I wouldnt worry about the marks on the pulley(polie) if I were you.

 

i will take it in considaration
thanks mate

 

Hey i know no one has talked on this forum but curious how did you end up finishing the job?
